Clive Dunn Dies Aged 92


Clive Dunn, best known for playing the rambling veteran-turned-butcher Lance Corporal Jones in Dad's Army, has died at the age of 92.

Dunn died on Tuesday in Portugal, where he had lived for decades, following a short illness.

Dunn was a versatile artist who performed in theatres and music halls, and even had a No 1 hit song with Grandad.
But it was the character of L/Corporal Jones, with his catchphrase “Don’t Panic”, that turned Dunn into a much-loved TV personality.

"He will be a real loss to the acting profession," said his agent, Peter Charlesworth.

He added that Dunn would be "sorely missed".

Dunn was born into a showbusiness family in London on January 9, 1920.

He started his acting career in the 1930s, but when World War Two broke out, he went to serve in the Army.
